I just switched to the Apple keyboard at work from my CODE keyboard (too loud in conference calls and I always forget to unmute) and I was shocked to find I’m faster on the Apple keyboard, even without any time to get used to it. The MBP ke

This isn’t the first time for MS, and certainly not the first time the dark side of DRM has shown itself. MSN music: https://www.cnet.com/news/defunct-msn-music-has-a-drm-contro... Zune’s servers shut down in 2017, but

Microsoft’s approach sucks. Totally breaks password auto fill on iOS. I talked to them at Build and the response was basically ‘fuck you passwords are dead’ which I guess is fine except they clearly aren’t. It was particularly infuriating i

Or companies might just make the effort to take their governance of user data seriously. Once you've complied once, you should be able to comply for everyone else automatically. See Google takeout.

I really don't think you understand what's involved in an eating disorder or how hard these attitudes make it to lose weight. If being fat really is just a personality failure (no self control, impulsivity), that would imply that

There's nothing good about being overweight. However, being fat doesn't mean you're stupid or lazy. There's a skinny person inside every fatass. I lost the weight and I am not any more qualified to do any job than anyone

Having recently lost 80+ pounds (~40 to my goal) the transformation in how people perceive you is remarkable and very noticeable. Make no mistake, if you're very overweight, or otherwise visibly not taking care of yourself, you are abs

I'd agree that bachelor's are also basically useless - all it tells you is that the candidate can put up with four years of bullshit and still jump through hoops at the end. A masters degree tells you they're willing to put u

Second the fitbit tip! Aside from not dying prematurely, you'll also enjoy increased energy and focus (assuming you actually do get up and walk around every hour) and, at least in my experience, you'll feel better at the end of th

That's nonsense. Masters degree is not high skill. Or really, I've seen basically zero evidence that it indicates any more skill than a bachelor's.

I hear this kind of thing all the time. "Your case is serendipity, but they were listening to me!" Do you know why you thought about adopting a dog randomly? Are you confusing cause and effect? Perhaps you were really being shown

You could just switch to some other activity while the colleague finishes typing their message. With a very basic policy change to how you receive messages, you can totally avoid all inefficiency. You also avoid supporting the transparent m

It, interestingly, is browser specific. Safari can zoom, chrome can't. I've been annoyed by chrome's zoom behavior, so this is a delightful find. Thanks!

Boeing's actions are absolutely mind boggling. All consumers want is _some_, _any_ evidence that they take passenger safety seriously. Pilots have to take less training to operate a proven deadly aircraft, with software patch on top, t

Thanks for raising this. I listen to the economist (big fan of their podcasts) as well as occasionally reading. I remember being somewhat shocked to discover that not only do they have a strong bias towards liberalism, but they aren't

I feel like given the circumstances, Microsoft should probably make distribution free and collect no revenue, at least until the platform becomes popular. There are costs to targeting the Windows platform, especially if you're doing th

Ever been in a tense meeting? Most (almost all) verbal communication comes with time pressure. Speak too long (ramble) and your message is lost and your coworkers are annoyed. Don't speak fast enough and now someone else is using all t

This 100%. The icons are _not_ purely decorative, they're important visual anchors. They are consistently relevant and descriptive. They've been around for ages now so even if they weren't straightforward devs have learned th

Eh, I think Facebook would lose more money each day that conflict dragged on until they complied with apple’s policies. Users can always access Facebook through safari.

I don't see why Apple couldn't take down _all_ Facebook apps until they comply. It seems like Apple has the real power here.

I think you're on the right track, but you have to account for the biases in the fat people who need this advice. No amount of exercise can counteract overeating at the scale seriously fat people (like past versions of myself) do. Ofte

High protein, and (while still calorie restricting) high fat does wonders for appetite. Also: water! As an obese person I kind of had to learn what thirst is because I almost always interpreted it as hunger. Also vital while your stomach is

Being significantly overweight is really tough. Body issues and shame make it so much harder. I wish people would understand that better. There’s a pretty nasty cycle of looking in the mirror, feeling like shit, eating to not feel like shit

Not having to deal with separate payment accounts is a huge value add at least for some consumers. I bought HBO to watch Westworld season 2 on Google play. If it wasn't that easy I would have made the effort to find someone's acco
